WE DID IT. WE WON. 💜✊
Wikimedia Foundation workers voted 158 YES to 14 NO: 91.9% of ballots cast, with 81% turnout.
We’re so proud of everyone who built this union, and this win belongs to our whole community. We could not have done it without the solidarity of Wikimedia volunteers.
This is just the beginning. We stand with our UK siblings in their recognition process now, and with future organizing efforts across WMF’s global workforce. 🌍

@calx unfortunately, i spent the last 23 minutes finding so much fucking bullshit you wouldn't fucking believe
@calx exactly as you described, a fingerprint of a public key should be sufficient proof, given some other assumptions--in particular, firefox didn't specify how we know to trust and verify their key material!
compare for example to yubico (https://circumstances.run/@hipsterelectron/116336526842775057), who actually does two things exactly right here! [even though i clown on them in that thread a lot lol]
@glyph When I swear at people, that is locally crafted, artisanal anger. They should treasure it.

What shocked me at #sotm2026 is the gender imbalance in the public and presenters. I counted about 80% men, 20% women in the presenters, and I think that the public was possibly even more strongly biased towards men.
This seems to echo the results of this article from 2019, whose authors surveyed a small sample of contributors (N≈300), and found not only that men represented 87% of them, but also that men were more prolific than women in their contributions. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10708-019-10035-z
One anecdotal datapoint was that the only talk where I have been this weekend, which had more women than men attending, was a talk about mapping accessibility.
I obviously haven't been to all the sessions, so I don't know if this issue was discussed somewhere at some point. But I think that this is rarely a sign of a healthy community. Shouldn't such an imbalance be one of the most urgent problems that we should tackle? Is the OSM community hostile to women? At which stage: are they dissuaded to even enter it, or do they quickly leave after joining? Why?
@Armavica totally agree! And while ironically I embody that very hegemonic demographics you're rightly pointing out, my talk at #SOTM2026 ("Whose Knowledge Counts? Analysing Diversity and Exclusion in OpenStreetMap's Tagging Proposals Process") was precisely about this, but in a very specific contribution type: tagging proposals.
The first part of the session covered why maps are not neutral and why the lack of diversity is an issue.

@catsalad
This also works if you replace “Mastodon” with “AI output”.

@mdm @troublewithwords @andrew @abucci @randomgeek yubico used to ship boxes labeled "yubico" in the mail like that doesn't compromise their customers' security. don't think they do that anymore at least i'm pretty sure mine did not do that
Today, it's jetlagged and exhausted geography quizzes, so the results will be what they'll be.
First one is surprisingly okay (I even did okay for India, it's somehow the only state I know where to locate)
